A Subway and Screwfix are to join other businesses at Tungsten Park as new retail and industrial units are to be built on the site.

The application to build five more industrial units, a storage unit and trade unit on the site near to Coventry Road was approved at the Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council planning committee meeting on Tuesday evening.

The decision means that once the units have been built, work on the site will be complete.

Planning permission will allow applicant Jeff Penman to built the other units which will be housed in three buildings.

The unit with the trade counter is likely to be occupied by Screwfix and the retail unit by Subway. They will both be in one building measuring 42 metres in length and eight metres high, which will face toward Coventry Road.

The other buildings will be to the rear of the first and measure 45.5 metres in length and eight metres high.

Mr Bailey, who can see the site from his back garden, spoke at the meeting to object to the application. He said: “We already have problems with people using KFC - we don’t want a Subway we already have one take away.

“The car park goes up the side of my neighbours house. All we will hear is cars starting up. The traffic is bad enough at the traffic lights.

“Nothing has been done with the land screening the area - it’s a mess. We have had enough of the noise and the partition hedge is a howthorn and in the winter it loses all it’s leaves and I can see the site from my back garden.

“Nobody bothers about us residents - just you keep giving permission to the developers.”

Councillor David Bill (Lib Dem, Clarendon) asked if a condition would be put on so that the landscaping was maintained.
